Regulation of provider networks in response to COVID-19.
The authors anticipate that the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic will have 3 main effects on provider networks and their regulation: enrollment changes, changes to the provider landscape, and changes to care delivery. They suggested that telehealth will have a larger role in care delivery than in the pre-pandemic period, and that regulators will need to adapt network standards to accommodate in-person and virtual care delivery.

Translating evidence into practice: ACOs' use of care plans for patients with complex health needs.
Researchers sought to understand how Medicare accountable care organizations (ACOs) use care plans to manage patients with complex clinical needs. After conducting semi-structured interviews with Medicare ACOs, they found that ACOs were using care plans for patients with complex needs, but their use of care plans did not always meet the best practices; ACOs were adapting use of care plans to better fit the needs of patients and providers.
